This is a minor release of Shorewall.
Problems Corrected:
1) There were several cases where Shorewall would fail to remove a
temporary directory from /tmp. These cases have been corrected.
2) The rules for allowing all traffic via the loopback interface have
been moved to before the rule that drops status=INVALID
packets. This insures that all loopback traffic is allowed even if
Netfilter connection tracking is confused.
New Features:
1) IPV6-IPV4 (6to4) tunnels are now supported in the
/etc/shorewall/tunnels file.
2) Shorewall can now be easily integrated with fireparse
(http://www.fireparse.com) by setting LOGMARKER="fp=" in
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. Note: You may not use ULOG
with fireparse unless you modify fireparse.
3) If you are running iptables 1.2.7a and kernel 2.4.20, then
Shorewall will return reject replies as follows:
a) tcp - RST
b) udp - ICMP port unreachable
c) icmp - ICMP host unreachable
d) Otherwise - ICMP host prohibited
If you are running earlier software, Shorewall will follow it's
traditional convention:
a) tcp - RST
b) Otherwise - ICMP port unreachable
4) UDP Port 135 is now silently dropped in the common.def chain.
